Facts of the case: The purchase was for a good cause. I will be a groomsman in my friend's wedding in September and require a full tux set. I used to half-ass my tuxedo getup with a white shirt meant for a suit (barrel cuffs, non pleated etc).

Mitigating Circumstance: I needed to get my wedding attire ready ahead of the wedding. I didn't want to be a last minute guy. Didn't want t be scrambling for a tux shirt in July. Please consider this. I ask for leniency!

As far as the case, I'm not clear why this couldn't have waited the four days until the grace period? I appreciate your honesty, but you've got an uphill battle to make your case at this point. It's not an impulse buy, but nor was there an immediate need (as far as I can tell), so though it's not a grievous violation, it is still a violation.

Just notice you shopped a tie in there. I actually have a tie quite similar to that.
